Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $161,137 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1836.2%.

Lump sum instead — $64,300 all at once in Feb 1973: $10,926,599 (+16893.2%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (May 2026): $409.77 on $400 invested (+2.4%).

⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.

Hypothetical — this backtests the group’s cap-weighted index, which isn’t directly investable. A real tracker fund adds fees and tracking difference, and the index only spans months where enough members have history.
